There are quite a few good splenda domains available including a lot that were previously registered at one point and then dropped. The above list doesn't include an domains with hyphens, so I wouldn't be surprised to find anything you want. In fact, only found four .com domains with "splenda-" registered. I hate Splenda. Learn what it really is and you may not like it either. I wish I had a feeling for the possibility that it will turn out to have bad health effects in the future. It's amazing to me how many chemicals we produce and then eat with our food, to say nothing of all the stuff that then makes it's way into the environment...

How Do I SPAM thee? Let me count the ways...

Voicecasting®  - Voicemail spam, answering machine spam, voice message spam, recorded spam message
http://voicelogic.com/voicecasting.html

They put marketing sales messages into residential telephone voice mail boxes or answering machines. And they say they do this without ringing the phone...! Like getting email spam, but not hearing the message "You've got mail". WTF, where did THIS come from? Honey, I thought you checked the machine, it says there's a message...!

Talk about your stillborn ideas....!

Don't tell me that we are going to need a CAPCHA for our answering machines and voice mail? "If you're human, press F-O-U-R. If you want to leave a message, press the number that completes this famous line: '... god, indivisable, with liberty and justice for all'. If you want to leave a message in our blackhole spam bucket, press 2. To be connected to the FTC, press 3."

I just got a junk fax from these guys and went to their site before I reported the fax to www.efax.com.

As usual I am late to the rantfest:

Attempt to ban voicemail spamming

Rogers Wireless Inc. appeals to Canadian Radio-television and Telemarketing Commission for a ban on voicemail spamming.

Canadian wireless operator Rogers Wireless Inc. is appealing to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to ban the marketing practice of voicemail spamming.

The process the company objects to is known as 'voicecasting' and involves the use of an automated dialling device to transmit marketing messages directly into the voicemail accounts of mobile telephones. Because the messages are transmitted directly to the voicemail accounts, the telephone does not ring, so consumers don't realise they've received the advertising messages until they retrieve their voicemail.

In a complaint filed with the CRTC, Rogers Wireless argued that mobile phone customers should not have to pay airtime charges to access marketing messages that have been disguised as legitimate voicemail. The company also pointed out that the costs are even higher for customers who retrieve messages while abroad, when roaming or long-distance charges also come into play.

Somewhat surprisingly, the man credited with inventing voicemail spamming says he agrees with Rogers Wireless. Cesar Correia, founder of Infolink Technologies Inc., the largest provider of voicecasting services in Canada, said: 'Customers should not be incurring charges when somebody is sending a voicecast to a cellphone. It's unfair to the public'.

Telephone companies and consumer groups will be hoping that Rogers Wireless has put together a strong case - in 2001 Bell made a similar complaint to the CRTC about voicecasting, but the regulator ruled that there was insufficient evidence to suggest that the practice was a nuisance to consumers. This time the CRTC is expected to issue a public notice and seek comment on the issue.

Ok, If You Insist I'll Upgrade...!

I created this blog sometime in 2004 and just went with whatever was provided at the time. Oh, I made some changes to add AdSense and links to some of my other sites, but over the years it has not changed much except for the content.

Well, I don't know why, but for some reason my old template broke and the formatting got really messed up, but bottom links show at the top (twice!) and the page was "split" and things on the right pushed out about 50% farther than they should have.

I suspect someone wanted to see if I was paying attention and just like they condemn homes in that are run down to try and clean up a neighborhood, I think someone was trying to send me a message...?

So ok, I got it and selected this wonderful generic example of simplicity. I may change it when I have time, but for now I feel like I have rejoined the human race again with at least a presentable blog. Now if I could just do something about my main web site's PageRank Zero curse, I could relax a little.

Nielsentech.com is not the original design although some may assume that it is. The domain was registered in 1999 I think, but the original site design had to be replaced a few years back after we received reports that people were experiencing the web equivalent of the gag reflex: "Ugh! Back! Back! Back!!!". If I remember correctly is was blue on a black background with bordered tables.... think retarded 1990's armature web design, no call it web building since design was not really part of the construction...

Speaking of web design, I may learn some yet. As part of a recent SEO project for the Academy of Web Design based in San Francisco, California I bartered for a copy of their DVD video web design course that include a lot of great courses including DreamWeaver, Flash, Fireworks, design concepts, project management, SEO, some others I'm forgetting. This is not just web design but a course that covers much of what you need to learn about being a web master and can be valuable in starting your own web design business. One plus is that this is not just getting a disc and watching lessons. The instructor also is available to answer questions and help students get through the course and succeed.

I don't know too much about what training is out there, but from what I've seen this deserves consideration if you are thinking about a career in web design or just want to have better skills for your personal web site. I can't wait to get started with mine, but I STILL don't have a DVD player in my PC...! I'll post more when I start working with it.

Yoda to Use Force to Optimize Web Sites

Yoda to Use Force to Optimize Web Sites

Minneapolis, MN -- April 4th, 2007 - In a communication today, ex-Jedi instructor Yoda announced his intention to provide search engine optimization services (SEO) to all races and on all planets that require SEO services. At press time we could not confirm the rumor that the company motto would be "Links, the Force. Use the Force!".

This is the communication we received today:

Damn the PR, Full Submit Ahead!

Damn the PR, Full Submit Ahead!

I just read an article here that says what I have been saying for quite a while. The author talks about submitting to smaller directories even if their PR is zero or very low. The reason is that even if they are small now, there is a good chance that they will grow and get bigger in the future. This is less likely if everyone just ignores them.

If people were not always so short-sighted, they might realize that directory submissions is a two way street, and this goes for the directory owner as well as the person submitting a site.

A good, well-written submission may be small, but it can still be good content and have value. An average directory listing provides value as a way for visitors to that site to find it, AND also provides a link back to the site which may have some value.

Good Listing =  Good Content = Good Link

Those that are submitting sites and those that own directories and search engines should have the attitude that they both need each other and show proper respect. Just as poor quality submissions and ignoring posted submission rules show no respect, so to does excessively fussy rules, return link requirements, and most listing fees. It is not realistic to expect someone that is submitting their site to pay even $1 to do so at all the sites that they have to choose from. By not charging a fee, directory owners allow themselves to get much more good content for their site and attract those that click, which continues long after a site has been submitted.  (hris
